Email Overview

Email, or electronic mail is a system that allows you to send messages to other people electronically. This is accomplished by using an email client to compose and send the message to an email server, which in turn sends it to another server, which is then viewed by another client.

For information on how to first create the email account(s) for your domain in your control panel, please see one of the following two links…

Now that you have completed the new setup of the address in your panel, you will want to set it up so you are able to access the email account and its messages. You can set it up in a variety of ways, such as using a Desktop client such as Outlook, or our webmail interface or for your mobile device such as cell phone/tablet.

While you would be able to connect using your own domain (https://domain.com:2096), it would show a Certificate mismatch which many prefer not to see, this method would be secured over SSL as well however.

Troubleshooting

Question: I can’t send emails.Answer: This is normally caused when you don’t have SMTP authentication enabled. Please review your client (if not using webmail) configuration and ensure that you have SMTP auth enabled. It can also sometimes be caused by Internet Services Providers when they block port 25. If this is the case, you can bypass this block by using port 26 instead.
